Well, it is May, and for couch potatoes like me, this is the time of year that is both exciting & heartbreaking. Seasons are ending, shows are being cancelled & the upfronts are dangerously close (for those of you newbies, upfronts are the networks presentations of their schedule for next year).
Here’s some tv scoopage for you:
The Whedon will include another familiar face from the buffyverse in his new Eliza Dushku show. Amy Acker (Fred from Angel) has joined the cast (yay!)
Lindsay Lohan will be making an appearance on Ugly Betty while Britney will do another episode of How I Met Your Mother. All we need is Paris Hilton to get a guest spot & we will have all of our favorite hot messes on the tv screen during sweeps!
Lex & Lana will both leave Smallville after this season. Although Lana will most likely make a few appearances next year, it is doubtful that Luthor will be seen again. Is this show really on still? Grrrr. This is when I get grouchy. Really, Smallville & One Tree Hill are still on the air while Everwood, Arrested Development & Veronica Mars all got cancelled? Yes, I realize it has been a few years but I’m still a bitter betty!
There are rumors circulating that there will be a few deaths on Wisteria lane this May, one of which is rumored to be ***SPOILER ALERT******************* Edie. Apparently Nicolette Sheridian wants out. I also heard that next season will be 5 years later.
Although I’m a wee bit upset, I knew it was a matter of time. ABC has announced that it is cancelling Men In Trees. The producers did make an alternate ending for the season finale in case it became the series finale. I really liked this show a lot last year, but something was a little off for me this year. I do hope that Anne Heche finds herself another show because she grew on me like a fungus. The final episodes of Men In Trees will air this summer.
I’m still waiting for word on the fate of How I Met Your Mother and oh yeah, I will be royally pissed if they cancel that show. It is my second favorite sitcom on (behind 30 Rock) and my Mondays would be a lot sadder without the show.
In other tv news, American Idol has TOTALLY sucked me back in this year. In the past I have watched occasionally, finding favorites (Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry) and then stopping once they were voted out. I feel like I haven’t been this committed to Idol the show, or more specifically, a contestant since Kelly Clarkson. But wow. I am on the David Cooke train. Oh and I’m voting. And, I can’t stand Archuletta. Are there any fans out there? Can you tell me why you like him? Because I think the kid has zero personality and that all of his performances have been BORING. He's like an Idol-bot. Which is why I can’t understand how the show will come down to a David vs. David showdown. I guess it is because Jason Castro should be in a starbucks singing and everyone is ignoring Syesha’s talent. Either way, I’m an Idol fanatic this year & I’ll be banging on my phone keys for the next few weeks. EEEEEE!
Finally, I'm concerned about Project Runway. As you may have heard this season (5) is the last on Bravo. Not only that, but the show's producers will not be making the trek to Lifetime with the show. What does this mean? Will the show look completely different on Lifetime? Will there be a challenge to dress your favorite tv has been for her upcoming Lifetime movie? What about Tim Gunn & Heidi, are they going to Lifetime! This is so NOT FIERCE!!!!
I guess that’s all for today. I’ll be back next week with some scoop on the upfronts & at the end of May I’ll issue my season finale report card. Byet!!

They are also moving Project Runway to Los Angeles. Not sure how I feel about that. I used to work in that biz in LA and while NYC is fashion, LA is more cheap labor. Should be interesting.
I also just heard about J. Lo's new reality show. Really? Is she hurting for the cash and/or publicity? I doubt it. Too weird.
